新疆地级市CO_2排放空间特征研究

基于中国高空间分辨率网格数据,建立新疆地级市CO_2排放数据集,探讨新疆CO_2排放的空间特征,为新疆低碳发展的空间布局规划提供一定的依据。研究采用"自下而上"的空间化方法建立排放数据集,并用统计学方法分析排放数据统计特征。研究结果:从整体看,CO_2直接排放总体分散,局部集中,基本沿着天山分为南部和北部,北部地区排放高于南部地区。从区域看,天山北坡经济带CO_2排放最高;丝绸之路经济带的中通道、北通道和南通道排放依次递减。从部门看,服务业与城镇生活CO_2排放相关性最高,间接排放与其他部门排放相关性最弱。从类型看,工业型地级市CO_2人均排放最高,总排放均值略低于服务业型地级市,远高于其他类型地级市;人口规模越大的地级市CO_2排放均值越大,但其人均排放越少。结论与讨论:1新疆CO_2排放空间差异显著,其排放较大的地级市整体效率不高,将是减排的重点区。2工业化、城镇化是新疆CO_2排放的重要影响因素,将是减排的着力点。3省际生态补偿和碳排放指标分配时应适度考虑能源输出引致本地较高CO_2排放的特情。     

二氧化碳排放的国际比较及对我国低碳经济发展的启示

首先分析了我国二氧化碳排放的基本情况,指出当前二氧化碳排放增长率虽然有所下降,但环境形势依然严峻。然后从国家碳排放总量、人均CO2排放量、单位GDP二氧化碳排放量、国家累积碳排放和人均累积碳排放几个方面对我国二氧化碳排放水平与国际水平进行了比较,并结合节能减排目标对我国低碳经济的发展提出了相关建议。     

特大型城市客运交通碳排放与减排对策研究

本文基于对现有城市交通碳排放测算方法的比较分析,以上海市为例,采用IPCC"自下而上"法对特大型城市客运交通CO2排放进行了测算,结果显示:轨道交通是碳排放效率最高的客运方式,出租车最低;客运交通CO2排放总量增长迅速,且碳源结构发生了较大变化;近年客运交通CO2排放增量主要来自私人载客汽车,同时公务交通在客运交通碳排放中始终占较大比重。由此本文认为,控制客运交通碳排放的关键在于对以私人载客汽车和单位载客汽车为主的个体交通的管理和控制,形成以公共交通为主的交通结构。在此基础上,为了将控制碳排放纳入到城市交通政策目标中去,本文就主要城市交通政策对客运交通碳排放产生的影响进行了深入分析,并得出结论:以往的交通供给、需求管理政策对于抑制客运交通碳排放增长的作用有限;而就目前城市空间发展政策的实施效果而言,也不利于降低居民出行的碳排放水平。文章最后分别从交通供给、需求管理以及城市空间角度给出了控制客运交通碳排放的对策。     

气候变化背景下碳减排特点及政策建议

近半个世纪以来,日趋变暖的气候使得碳减排成为世界上很热的一个议题。本文从全球CO2的排放及其对气候的影响入手,引入低碳经济的概念和碳减排国际合作情况,分析了碳减排技术和投资热点。最后对我国碳减排提出几点建议。     

长三角地区碳排放效率时空特征及影响因素分析

长三角区域一体化发展战略上升为国家战略,要求建立区域间协调机制,引导低碳产业,弥补绿色发展的短板。掌握长三角地区碳排放效率时空特征及其影响因素,对长三角地区低碳高效发展及顺利实现碳减排目标具有重要的现实意义。基于考虑非期望产出的SBM-DEA模型与窗口分析相结合的方法,测算碳排放效率,利用传统统计分析与空间分析相结合的方法,分析了1995～2017年长三角地区碳排放效率时空特征,并考虑空间因素,构建空间杜宾面板模型分析其影响因素。结果表明:(1)1995～2017年碳排放效率总体呈波动变化趋势。2017年,上海、苏州和无锡的碳排放效率为1。碳排放效率绝对差异与相对差异呈波动变化,且变化趋势基本一致。碳排放效率存在不均衡现象。(2)碳排放效率区域差异明显,2005年后,空间格局变化不大,上海、苏州和无锡形成了碳排放效率高值区。碳排放效率重心主要分布在南京市,总体向西北移动。(3)空间杜宾面板模型结果表明:提高技术水平是改变碳排放效率的重要途径。城镇化和空间因素对碳排放效率具有明显的正向作用;外商投资、单位GDP能耗和生态环境对碳排放效率具有明显的负向作用。     

Regional differences and influencing factors in the CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emissions of China’s power industry based on the panel data models considering power-consuming efficiency factor

With the economic development, China has become the largest CO₂ emissions country. China’s power industry CO₂ emissions accounted for about 50% of total CO₂ emissions. Therefore, exploring major drivers of CO₂ emissions is critical to mitigating its CO₂ emissions in power industry. Many studies considered the time series model to analyze the national influences factors of CO₂ emissions. But this paper focuses on regional differences in CO₂ emissions and adopts panel data models to explore the major impact factors of CO₂ emissions in the power industry at the regional and provincial perspectives. The results indicate economic growth level plays a dominant role in reducing CO₂ emissions. The power-consuming efficiency on the demand side has large potential to mitigate CO₂ emissions, but its influences are different in three regions. The impacts of the electric power structure on CO₂ emissions decline from the eastern region to the central and western regions. The influence of urbanization and industrialization also has significant regional differences. Therefore, the governments should consider the influencing factors and regional differences and formulate appropriate policies to decrease CO₂ emissions in the power industry.     

中国旅游业碳排放效率及其空间关联特征

科学测度与分析中国旅游业碳排放效率及其空间关联特征,对于推动旅游业可持续发展具有重要意义。借助SBM模型测算2000~2015年中国省际旅游业碳排放效率,并运用Kernel密度估计法刻画其动态演进过程。结果发现：中国旅游业碳排放效率存在显著的区域差异性,东高西低是发展常态,且目前多数省区仍处于非效率水平;核密度曲线显示我国旅游业碳排放效率处于增长态势,随着时间推进呈现由“单峰”到“三峰”再到“双峰”分布的动态演进过程,面临着发展不协调的问题。最后,构建空间Durbin模型探讨中国省域旅游业碳排放效率的空间关联特征,结果表明各省旅游业碳排放效率存在显著的空间溢出效应,一省的旅游业碳排放效率不仅受本省自身特点的影响,还与其邻近省区的发展情况相关联,具体表现为：各省旅游业技术水平、经济发展水平、产业结构和对外开放程度显著促进本省及邻近省的旅游业碳排放效率;旅游业产权结构对本省的旅游业碳排放效率有显著负向影响,但对邻近省的影响不明显;旅游业经济规模和城市化水平对邻近省旅游业碳排放效率产生负外部性;受教育程度对旅游业碳排放效率的作用不显著。 关键词： 旅游业碳排放效率;SBM模型;Kernel密度估计;空间Durbin模型;中国     

无锡市能源消费、碳排放与经济增长关系分析

经济增长对资源消耗存在很大的依赖性,研究能源消费、碳排放与经济增长关系,可为经济增长方式转变和低碳城市建设提供重要科学依据。基于IPCC国家温室气体排放清单指南中的方法估算了无锡市能源消费碳排放,并建立“脱钩”模型探讨能源消费、碳排放与经济增长之间的关系。结果表明：（1）2000~2010年,无锡市碳排放从84335万t增加到2 52804万t,总量不断增加,但趋势有所减缓,且各县市碳排放特征差异显著;（2）无锡市碳排放与经济增长整体处于弱脱钩状态,且脱钩状态有不断增强的趋势,市区经济发展已不依赖于能源消费,朝着环境友好方向发展,江阴和宜兴节能减排压力仍然很大;（3）优化产业结构、调整工业结构和提高能源利用效率是改善无锡市能源消费、碳排放和经济增长关系的有效途径,各县市根据具体情况,侧重点有所不同     

中国碳排放的因素分解模型及实证分析:1995-2004

能源消费是碳排放的主要来源。随着中国经济的快速发展,能源消费的急剧增长以及以煤为主的能源结构在短期内很难改变,因此,碳排放不可避免地会出现一定幅度的增加。本文基于碳排放量的基本等式,采用对数平均权重Divisia分解法（Logarithmic mean weight Divisia method,LMD）,建立中国人均碳排放的因素分解模型,定量分析了1995-2004年间,能源结构、能源效率和经济发展等因素的变化对中国人均碳排放的影响,结果显示经济发展对拉动中国人均碳排放的贡献率呈指数增长,而能源效率和能源结构对抑制中国人均碳排放的贡献率都呈倒“U”。这说明能源效率对抑制中国碳排放的作用在减弱,以煤为主的能源结构未发生根本性变化,能源效率和能源结构的抑制作用难以抵销由经济发展拉动的中国碳排放量增长。     

中国西北寒旱区农牧民生活碳排放评估

围绕碳排放权开展的气候谈判愈来愈关注贫困人口与弱势群体的生存权与发展权,一方面由于受制于其薄弱的社会经济水平,贫困人口与弱势群体在气候变化实践中表现出更高的脆弱性,另一方面则因气候变化减缓与适应行动而造成的贫困人口生活成本的增加以及生活水平的下降。然而,对这些地区和人口的排放权判断主要基于国家层面和地区层面宏观数据的分析,其结果掩盖了国家和地区内部不同社会经济水平下的人口排放差异,不能准确揭示贫困人口和脆弱群体的低碳排放事实。本文基于国际碳排放评估对人口生活排放的需求,结合IPCC参考方法,利用投入产出分析模型构建了人口生活碳排放评价指标体系,并用于对甘肃、青海和宁夏干旱-高寒地区农牧民生活碳排放的样本调查和分析。评估表明,中国西北干旱—高寒区人口生活碳排放仅为1.85tCO2/人,其中用于满足基本生活需要的碳排放量达到87.25%。研究发现,生活在更冷(海拔更高)区域内的人口生活排放量更高;随着家庭收入的增长,人口生活排放量也随之上升;家庭成员数量越多,家庭的人均碳排放量就会越低。     

基于Logistic模型的中国各省碳排放预测

在“碳排放量与能源消费成正比”假设的基础上,对中国30个省区2011～2020年碳排放进行了预测。首先对中国30个省区1987～2010年的历史累计排放量和人均累计排放量进行计算,依据历史累计排放量和人均累计排放量两个指标,运用K-均值聚类分析法将中国各省区碳排放分成了5类。分别绘出5类区域中各省的历年碳排放量曲线,并进行数据分析,发现：以2002年为界线,2002年前后两个时段中国各省区碳排放变化差异很大。这一现象说明2002年以前的各省碳排放趋势并不能表征未来年份各省的碳排放。在此结论的基础上,构建了碳排放量增长的Logistic预测模型,并以2002～2010年碳排放数据为样本数据,对2011～2020年中国各省区碳排放进行了预测。为了验证预测模型的精确性,利用Logistic预测模型对中国30个省区2002～2010年的碳排放进行了预测,并将预测值与实际排放值进行比较发现,除了宁夏自治区的误差达1458%外,其他地区的误差均在7%以下。除宁夏外的中国各省区预测误差的平均值为622%,由此验证了Logistic预测模型的精确性。同时,也说明对中国30个省区2011～2020年碳排放的预测值具有较高的可信性。本研究为中国各省未来碳排放政策的制定提供了方法与数据支持     

中国种植业碳排放与其产业发展关系的研究

研究首先测算了我国1992~2010年期间以及31个省（市、区）2010年的种植业碳排放量。在此基础上,运用序列平稳性检验、协整分析方法等计量经济分析方法考察了中国1992~2010年种植业碳排放与其产业发展间的关系。研究表明：（1）2010年我国种植业碳排放总量为18 36684万t,较1992年增加了3562%,呈现“上升-平稳-上升”的3个阶段变化趋势。横向来看,区域差异明显,排在前10位的地区占全国种植业碳排总量的6297%,而排在后10位的地区仅占全国718%;江西种植业碳排放强度最高,达1 19786 kg/万元种植业产值,北京最低,仅为21986 kg/万元种植业产值。（2）种植业产业发展与其碳排放之间存在协整关系,即长期均衡关系,但短期内会偏离长期均衡,种植业碳排放长期对短期偏离均衡的调整力度为4234%,而种植业产业发展偏离长期均衡时,系统因素不能使偏差回到长期均衡状态,需借助外力调整;（3）种植业产业发展与其碳排放互为因果关系;（4）产业发展带来的冲击能够解释种植业碳排放变化的3757%,而碳排放的变化对其产业发展的解释水平仅为680%     

岷江上游植被在汶川地震中的损毁及灾后恢复状况

岷江上游是四川盆地和长江干流的重要生态屏障,其植被资源在汶川地震中遭受了严重破坏。以震前（2006年）和震后（2008年和2010年）的遥感影像数据为基础,研究了该区域植被在地震中的受损情况及灾后恢复状况。研究表明：受地震影响,岷江上游森林、灌木、草地和荒漠植被面积在2006～2008年分别下降23 124、15 409、7 482 和2 656 hm2,降幅依次为273%、253%、104%和412%,而沼泽面积变化不大;经过灾后恢复,森林、灌木、草地和荒漠植被面积在2008～2010年分别恢复12 104、21 283、10 554 和2 847 hm2,分别占受损面积的52%、138%、141%和107%,而沼泽面积变化依然不大。植被的这些变化对区域的生态服务功能产生了深远影响。对合理开发利用区域资源、妥善处理经济建设和生态环境保护矛盾以及科学保障长江流域的生态安全都具有一定的指导意义     

Is pork trade good for China's greenhouse gas emissions?

China produces the largest amount of pork in the world, which emits the largest amount of greenhouse gases (GHGs). This paper calculates GHG emissions from China’s hog production at the provincial level using newly published emission factors. Empirical results show that GHG emissions from China’s hog production mainly respond to the scale intensity. Capital abundance and income contribute positively to GHG emissions from hog production. Pork trade increases GHG emissions from China’s hog production with a significantly direct effect, reduces GHG emissions through indirect technique effects.     

江苏省人口规模、结构对碳排放的影响分析

将人口结构因素纳入STIRPAT模型,利用江苏省1982~2010年的相关数据运用统计和计量方法对影响碳排放的人口总量、人口城市化、老龄人口比重、家庭规模、人均消费额、碳排放强度等相关因素进行实证分析。结果表明：家庭规模具有显著的负效应;在显著的正向影响因素中,老龄人口比重弹性最大,其它依次为人均消费额、人口总量、人口城市化水平、碳排放强度。在考虑人口结构情况下,碳排放的人口规模弹性小于1,缺乏弹性,说明人口总量对江苏碳排放的影响开始放缓;人口年龄结构对碳排放的影响逐渐显现,特别是老龄人口比重已经超过人口规模,成为促进碳排放的第一驱动因素;人口城市化进程和人均消费额直接加剧了碳排放,以碳排放强度表示技术进步对抑制碳排放有一定的作用,但不显著。针对分析结果,探讨了江苏省未来低碳发展的应对之策     

Distributional dynamic and trend evolution of China’s agricultural carbon emissions – an analysis on panel data of 31 provinces from 2002 to 2011

Researching the dynamic distribution characteristics and trend evolution of agricultural carbon emissions is of considerable significance in formulating an effective agricultural carbon reduction policy. Based on measurement of agricultural carbon emissions of 31 provinces over the period 2002–2011, the study observed regional differences and the dynamic evolution of distribution of agricultural carbon emissions using agricultural carbon intensity as the indicator, accompanied by Gini coefficients and the kernel density estimation method. The results demonstrate first that agricultural carbon emissions for China show an obvious nonequilibrium nature in regard to spatial distribution. According to the differences in agricultural carbon emissions dynamic trends, we divided the 31 regions into four types – continuous decline, fluctuating decline, continuous increase, and fluctuating increase. Further, agricultural carbon emissions intensity showed a downward trend with significant differences in the research areas. Second, the gap in spatial distribution of national agricultural carbon emissions is gradually expanding based on the results calculated by Gini coefficient. From the perception of regional differences in agricultural carbon emissions, the eastern region showed an average level, the gap was more obvious in the central region, while western region showed a trend of fluctuating downward. Third, according to estimation by kernel density, the regional disparity in agricultural carbon emissions had a downward, but limited, trend. In regard to agricultural carbon emissions over the three areas, the regional gap not only tended to decrease but also showed a “four way” differentiation phenomenon in the eastern region. The difference in the central region difference was narrower. On the whole, the gap for the western region reduced steadily over a small range.     

Characteristics of oxidant precursor emissions from anthropogenic sources in the United States

Hydrocarbons (HC) and nitrogen oxides (NO_x) have been identified as the most important precursor pollutants for oxidant formation in the atmosphere. These pollutants are emitted both from natural and anthropogenic sources; however, these two types of sources are generally geographically separated. Anthropogenic emissions are dominant in and around urban centers, where the majority of severe oxidant problems occur. Based on data gathered by the MAP3S/RAINE emissions inventory project, anthropogenic emissions of HC in the conterminous United States were 24.8 million metric tons in 1979. HC emissions were predominantly from area sources, the transportation sector being the largest contributor with 39.8% of the total. State-by-state breakdowns are also included. Based on analyses by other emissions inventory projects, the nonreactive fraction of the emissions from the transportation sector is less than 20% by weight. The highest proportion of HC emissions occur at low altitudes (0–50 m range) in high population density areas. Anthropogenic emissions of NO_x were 23.7 million metric tons in 1979; 50.8% were from point sources. The transportation sector and the electric utilities sector account for 37.1% and 30.9% of the NO_x emissions, respectively. The NO₂ fraction of the emissions from the transportation and electric utilities sectors is less than 10% by weight, based on NO/NO₂ speciation data from two other emissions inventories. Highest rates of NO_x emissions occur in high population density areas and are released at low altitude (0–50 m); three areas of high electric generating capacity were found to have high release altitudes.     

The significance of various factors for GHG emissions of buildings

The objective of the research was to create improved understanding of the significance of diverse factors for the total greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions of buildings. The specific focus of the study was on the assessment of the significance of building materials and embodied carbon. The scope of the study covers multi-storey residential buildings in Finland. This research was based on a literature survey and supported by a parametric case study. The parametric study assessed the building-material-related GHG emissions relative to total GHG emissions and the possible range of variation. The research assesses the minimum and maximum GHG emissions for production of buildings with similar spaces, to reveal the likely range of variation for the emissions. The calculations for the ‘minimum’ and ‘maximum’ scenarios assume a similar purpose of use, occupancy and spaces in the building, while the production methods, materials, site conditions and location are varied. The research also assesses the relative importance of various building components and other calculation parameters in terms of GHGs. Total material-related GHG emissions were compared with the GHG emissions caused by the operation of the building, at three distinct levels of energy performance. In addition, the material- and operation-related GHG emissions were compared with the location-related GHG emissions arising from people's mobility.     

Tourism and CO<Subscript>2</Subscript> emissions nexus in Southeast Asia: new evidence from panel estimation

The past decade has seen the rapid development of the tourist industry in Southeast Asia. There is increasing concern that tourism is highly affecting CO₂ emissions, but the nature of the relationship is still unclear. The main target of this paper is to investigate the existence of a linear and/or nonlinear relationship between tourism and CO₂ emissions in the five most important countries located in Southeast Asia, using the panel cointegration and pooled mean group techniques. The results indicate that tourism and CO₂ emissions are cointegrated, implying that tourism affects CO₂ emissions in the long run. Our findings support the nonlinear relationship between tourism and emissions as well as economic activities and CO₂ emissions. Accordingly, an inverted U-shaped relationship exists between tourism and emissions confirming the existence of an Environmental Kuznets Curve in the Southeast Asian tourism industry. Furthermore, the empirical results show that economic activities and energy consumption greatly increase emissions.     

Emissions trading: An improved technique for air quality management

The emissions trading program was one of the first major regulatory reform efforts at the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency under the Reagan Administration. This program is a set of guidelines for the states to develop federally approved transactions in discharge permits, called an Emission Reduction Credit. The rules governing emissions trading apply within a total ambient constraint or “pollution budget.” This paper provides a discussion of the emissions trading program as an improved technique for air quality management. The paper begins with a discussion of the concept of emissions trading and how the EPA emissions trading program fits into the U.S. Clean Air Act. It is then argued that emissions trading provides a more cost-effective set of implementation incentives in comparison to a “command and control” regulatory system. A number of important attributes of the emissions trading program are discussed, and estimates of cost reductions are provided. The current status of the implementation of the emissions trading program is discussed. The paper concludes with a discussion of several legal, technical, and administrative obstacles to obtaining the efficiencies of emissions trading.
